摘要：

We study the four-soliton metrics of Ibanez and Verdaguer using numerical and graphical representations of the solutions. We compare the properties of these signals with those of classical solitons such as are found in the Korteweg-de Vries and sine-Gordon equations. We find that the gravitational "solitons" do not suffer a time delay and behave generally like linear waves under collisions.
